It is about time to replace my stock Michelins and I am thinking of going with H-rated all-season tires. From what I've seen from TireRack's comparison ratings the SP Sport A2s outperforms the MXV4s and for a much lower price. It also rated higher than the Potenza RE950 on the snow traction rating. Any comments on the Dunlops?

TIA

    Try Dunlop Sports 5000, Z rated, a lot cheaper than the stock Michelin and the handling is far better. They perform well in the rain and light snow.

    I bought my SP Sports A2's two weeks ago. I rate them equal to the MXV4's I replaced them with. I highly recommend them. MH

    Replaced the MXV4s with the A2s only 3 weeks ago. The handling, cornering ability, and grip in the wet is as good, if not better than the MXV4s. They are also quieter on most road surfaces.
    At 21000 miles the tread on the MXV4s was down to 4/32, from 9/32. The wear bars show up at 2/32. Driving with tire treads below 4/32 is asking for trouble.
    Regarding your question I like the tires. I also liked the predecessor Dunlop, the D2, which I ran on a 850GLT a few years ago after replacing the MXV4S at 19000 miles.
